How do these work? Do they connect to the phone via Bluetooth and listened to via wired headphones or wired to the phone and listened through a wireless headphone?
Hmm, no Qudelix 5k. The PEQ with the 100s of presets, which made a huge difference with different IEMs and over ear cans I have, made me return the BTR 7. I tried them back to back.
I have both the k9 akm and the topping dx3pro+ with ess. Would you say the topping will cover the more detailed clinical sound the ess offers or is there a big difference in sound. Between akm and ess there is a difference and I like both transparent sounds for different applications. Sounds like we need a dac that has both ess and akm to switch between
Lats week was comparing these to the Sennheiser ie900 and i returned the ie900. I also have the Monarch 2 which were my favourite among all flagships or some expensive iems ive had, like Mest 2, u12t, ie900, Xelento 2 and i like the Variations even more than the Monarch 2. For me the Variations are cleaner, smoother and have way better bass. I dont know whats going on but to my ears the Variations are absolutely magical in tuning. Their trebles are ethereal, i feel like im floating in space when listening to them.
So, if you were to buy a new dac today and use with the HD800s. Which would you choose, RME or K9? The price difference where I live between the two is basically 10eur.
hi, I'm thinking to get one dac/amp but I don't know which one is giving bigger soundstage and better imaging do you know which one is better for these? K9 AKM( NOT OLD PRO VERSION) or K9 Pro ESS?
Glad you listened with the focal clears, I’m looking to buy the clear MG and seems like this BTR7 will be the perfect pairing and at only $200 it seems like a great value compared to some others.
Your ears canals might be shaped in a way that produces a wider soundstage with the monarch iems. I tried the monarchs and the soundstage couldn’t even reach as far as the hd800s imho.
I've debated for weeks whether to purchase the Variations, as it represents my most expensive single-item purchase since entering Audiophilia. Your review (compared to others I've viewed) is the tipping point for me, and this morning, over my first cup of coffee, I made the purchase! At 6:34, when you begin describing your experience of listening to Diana Krall and the details of the instruments you hear, I finally better understand the experience beyond just the typical adjectives ubiquitous in reviews. I am glad I came across your channel while investigating the Whizzer HE03D. Thank you for that review, by the way - I was almost done in by their good looks alone.
I agree with the slight clamp force/headband, but that's about it. When I first played the Ghost, I had the same sound impressions. They really take a long time to break in. Saying these are 'horrible' or 'garbage' doesn't tell us anything whatsoever. Every transducer makes compromises for every price point, and every listener has different preferences oftentimes formed by past experiences. The quality of the Ghost is that they are inoffensive and smooth, and have a slight bass boost below the 'boom' region. The Diana Krall track you mentioned is a very smooth track, which the Ghost will make even smoother. Inversely. the Rhode is a brighter headphone, and will destroy your ears with brighter recordings and make the Ghost sound like a work of art. Furthermore, the Ghost is an open-back, which gives me the ability of hearing the phone or doorbell ring. For open backs in its price range, I prefer it over the 9500, 9600, and 560s for different reasons (the 9600 being the smoother of the three).
I took the BTR7 and mounted it with velcro to the Centrance Ampersand with 4.4mm short cable balanced.... then I used the fiio M15s as the wireless source..... that turns the BTR7 into a powerful wireless amp that has enough power to drive a susvara.... it sounds very very good...
come on, we don't want your sh.i.t.t.y panoramic shots. We want to know everything about actually holding the mouse. It would be useful if you tell the length of your hand and try different moves and the feeling of them. It would be more useful if you close your mouth while comparing the clicking sound. We don't want a tons of b.s fanboy phrases
Ideally they would modify those currently in production to reflect whichever sticker design is most popular. In the meantime, the stickers are great inclusion though they would have been better if they matched the colour of the front plate. Still, its much better than no stickers.
Not much functionally but the the BTR7 has a different sound. Its clearer, and maybe more resolving. Has better control with transients and a brighter sound. The 5 is darker and not as resolving. But both sound good.
I have the BTR15 and the BTR7. The BTR7 is superior in sound quality imho. It has a better controlled sub bass. The soundstage is noticeably better and is sweeter in the treble.
Got one (for myself) for xmas. I was listening to an old Jerry Goldsmith score and I was hearing orchestra noise I'd never heard before. Sheet music shuffling, the click of valves on brass and EVEN a faint sneeze. :D
